Saints Start Season with 3-1 Win

The Buffalo Saints 18U got started on the right foot with a strong effort in the season opener against a physical Esmark Stars team with a 3-1 victory.  After a scoreless first period that saw each team find opportunities, Alec Yerkovich (Sr/Hamburg) found the back of the net on the power play after a goal mouth scramble.  Matt Gasuik (Jr/South Buffalo) and Erik Urbank (Jr/Orchard Park) picked up assists on the goal.  Esmark wasted no time in it's response scoring less than a minute later.  Brandon Hausler (Jr/Montgomery, TX) tallied the eventual game winner with 3:47 to play off a Charlie Carlson (Jr/Orchard Park) rebound.  Steve Senese (Jr/Niagara Falls) added an assist.  Minutes later Cole Donhauser (So/Kenmore) found the back of the net to stretch the lead to 3-1 and finish the scoring.  Senese picked up another assist on that goal.  Jerry Baerwitz (Sr/Orlando, FL) shut the door making 18 saves on the night.

The same two teams face off at Dann Arena on Sunday, Aug 30 at 12:45pm.
